Insights about inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy interferences of major rare earth elements in complex e-waste feeds

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Ajay Bhagwan Patil, Mohamed Tarik

The advent of rare earth elements (REEs) with optoelectronic properties has shifted the technology paradigm from digital to a smart and hybrid world. Their substantial uses also resulted in a large piling up of e-waste. Therefore, e-waste is now a lucrativ ...

Predicting Partitioning and Diffusion Properties of Nonpolar Chemicals in Biotic Media and Passive Sampler Phases by GC x GC

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Deedar Nabi

The chemical parameters needed to explain and predict bioavailability, biodynamics, and baseline toxicity are not readily available for most nonpolar chemicals detected in the environment. Here, we demonstrate that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromat ...

Gas Sampling Using Convection and Humidity Stabilization to Improve Point Gas Sensor Responses

Emily Ann Hammes

Many diseases including sick building syndrome, respiratory problems and cancers can be caused by exposure to high concentrations of toxins commonly used in modern building materials, paints, glues and furniture. To minimize exposure to these toxins, it is ...

Analyte quantification with Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography: Assessment of methods for baseline correction, peak delineation, and matrix effect elimination for real samples

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros, Saer Samanipour, Petros Dimitriou Christidis, Auréline Grange

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) is used widely to separate and measure organic chemicals in complex mixtures. However, approaches to quantify analytes in real, complex samples have not been critically assessed. We quantified 7 PA ...

Standard addition strip for quantitative electrostatic spray ionization mass spectrometry analysis: Determination of caffeine in drinks

Hubert Girault, Christophe Roussel, Liang Qiao, Elena Tobolkina

Standard addition strips were prepared for the quantitative determination of caffeine in different beverages by electrostatic spray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESTASI-MS). The gist of this approach is to dry spots of caffeine solutions with different con ...

The existence of amorphous phase in Portland cements: Physical factors affecting Rietveld quantitative phase analysis

Karen Scrivener, Amélie Bazzoni, Ruben Anton Snellings

Rietveld quantitative phase analysis has become a widespread tool for the characterization of Portland cement, both for research and production control purposes. One of the major remaining points of debate is whether Portland cements contain amorphous cont ...

Time-domain performance of a patch-loaded band-reject UWB antenna

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires, Mohsen Koohestani

A previous study of a novel technique to design a band-reject UWB monopole antenna by using patch loading is extended. Frequency-domain measurements have confirmed that the antenna designed using this technique rejects the interfering signal at the two int ...

Predicting Concentrations of Organic Chemicals in Fish by Using Toxicokinetic Models

Kristin Schirmer, Julita Maria Stadnicka-Michalak

Quantification of chemical toxicity continues to be generally based on measured external concentrations. Yet, internal chemical concentrations have been suggested to be a more suitable parameter. To better understand the relationship between the external a ...
